resented :rune 9,1908.

To all whom it may concern: i.

Be it known 'that we, linnnnnicn PARKER. Vian and HENRY Jenn Buoounron, subjects of the King of Great Britain, residing at Ecnuca,.in the State o'il Victoria, in the Coininonwealth of Australia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brushes; and.v we do hereby declare the `following to be a full, clear1 and exact description oi the invention, such is-Will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to .make and use the same.

The object of this invention primarily is to provide in alight, compact and inexpensive f-i'orm an improved reservoir brush oi that description in which the color or other iluid (hereinafter referred to as color for the pun pose of brevity) may be drawn from the bowl or other receptacle into a fountain or reservoir formed in the brush handle and forced at will therefrom through a suitable outlet to the hairs or -fibers oi the brush.

Another object of the invention is to pio vide means whereby the color contained in the reservoir or fountain may be conveniently discharged through an opening formed within. the brsuli holder in a uniform flow, T his 'openingis regulated by a valve which is conveniently adjusted by the relative posi- -handle Referring now to the accompanying sheet of drawings which illustrate the invention. Figure l is a longitudinal. vertical section o'f the brush showing the color inlet to the handle reservoir in its closed position.' Fig., 2 is a half side view and halt sectional view of the brush With the color inlet open and the rear portion of the handle drawn outwardly,

i0 in which positions the reservoir is ready to be charged with color and also illustrates ,3S tic-nino" of the brush-holder and the brush a modification ci the construction oi some of the parts. ln these views the numeral 1 designates thebrush material which may be composed of hair, bristles or iibers,

- 2 is the brush holder whichis preferably oi the design illustrated and constructed with a Shank 3 designed to fit into a tubular case 4 which forms the color receiving chamber or reservoir. The brush holder 2 may either be fitted tightly and telescopically into the casing 4 as isillustrated in Fig. i or it may be screwed thereinto as shown in Fig.

5 5 is a truncated conical shaped chamber open at both-ends through which the coloris drawn when the reservoir 4 is being charged, and through which the color is discharged to the hairs or 'fibers l of the brush. l

6 is a valve secured to the end of a longi-I 50 tudinal rod 7 placed in the interior of the reservoir and secured in position by means of a iixed ring 8.

The back portion of the brush handle is in. dicated by 9, and it is illustrated in the form c5 oi' an. outer casing or ferrule designed to iit air-tight over the reservoir casing 4 and to be capable ol telescopic movement thereon.

in operation the brush-holder 2 is drawn or'screwed outwardly from the casino' 4 at 70 any required distance as illustrated in lllig. 2 thereby forming an inlet to the valve chamber 5, and the hairs, bristles or fibers l of the brush are rested firmly in the bowl or other receptacle containing the color. The outer casing 9 is then drawn outwardly and operates similar tota suction plunger and the chamber or reservoir is simultaneously charged with color. The brush-holder 2 is then twisted or screwed back into the fcrrule or color casing 4 to a sufiicient extent to regulate the opening to and from the valve chamber 5 by means of the relative position ci the valve 6. Ey these vmeans when the outer casing 9 is moved forwardly towards -85 the brush proper by the user the color flows uniformly and in a regulated quantity to the hairs or iibers of the brush.

The parts oi the brush may be made of any suitable material, but the portions which come in contact with the color are preferably made of brass in order to prevent corrosion. lt will be well understood, however, that sundry modifications in the design-and details 'of the invention mayV be made while 95 still retaining essential features.

Vtlliat we claim asour invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

l. ln a brush, a color reservoir formed in the handle, a movable brush-holder, which 10o has a tube arranged therein constituting the outlet from the reservoir, inserted in said handle, a valve adapted to control the inlet to and outlet from the col-or reservoir by the relative positioning of the brush holder within the color reservoir, and a sleevel closed at oneend fitting over said color reservoir capable of telescopic movement thereon i and constituting a plunger for said reservoir.

l in a brush, a color reservoir formed in llo arranged therein a they handle, a movablebrush holder having truncated conical chamber open at both ends, said holder being insertediny the reservoir and adapted to control the inlet to and outlet from the reservoir by the relative positioningthereof Within the said reservoir, a valve affixed at the end-of a longitudinal rod secured within the reservoir7 and a sleeve itting over said color reservoir oa able of telescopio movement thereon, for t ie purposes herein described.

l3. In a brush, the combination With a handle constituting a color reservoir, a brush holder longitudinally movable in one end of said handle and having'an opening in communication with said reservoir7 the other end of said handle being open and carrying a telescopic sleeve closed at its end and constituting a plunger for drawing color into and expressing the same irom said reservoir, and

a valve for controlling said brush holder opening and adapted to be actuatedby the relative position of the 4brush holder Within the color reservoir. Y

A 4. In' a brush, a brush-holder 2 having a shank 3 having screw with the handle 4, a chamber 5 arranged Within the brush-holder, a valve 6 affixed at the end of a longitudinal rod 7 secured with the handle 4 by means of' a ring 8, and a sleeve 9 itting over the handle 4 and capable of telescopio movement thereon.

-ln testimony whereof we havel signed thisV speciication in the presence-of two Witnesses. g
